Can the ability to sit down on the floor and rise back up without using your hands or knees really predict longevity?
ORANGE, Calif. - Californer -- A new long-term study just added more science behind something surprisingly simple. Can the ability to sit down on the floor and rise back up without using your hands or knees really predict longevity? Blue Zones Health is always looking for ways to help our patients live better, longerTM.
Researching the Indicators of Longevity
Researchers followed over 4,200 adults aged 46 to 75 for more than 12 years. Participants completed what's known as the sitting-rising test (SRT), where they sat and stood from the floor with minimal support. Each movement was scored out of 5, with deductions for using hands, knees, or wobbling. The final scores were then linked to long-term health outcomes and the results were eye-opening.
Understanding the Results
Those with the lowest SRT scores had a 42% death rate during the follow-up period, compared to just 3.7% for those with perfect scores. Even after adjusting for age, BMI, and other health factors, the study showed that lower SRT scores significantly predicted premature death from natural causes and cardiovascular disease.

Why does this matter? Because the SRT reflects more than flexibility. It also measures strength, balance, and body control, key ingredients in the kind of non-aerobic physical fitness that supports longevity.
Incorporate Longevity into Practice
This reinforces what we've always believed: that the path to a longer life isn't only in the lab or prescription pad. It's in your muscles, your movements, and your daily habits.
If getting off the floor without support feels like a challenge, you're not alone. It's never too late to improve. Our care teams use practical, proven techniques to help you build strength and flexibility at any age.
Longevity isn't a mystery. It's measurable, trainable, and deeply personal. Let's build it together one step, one sit, and one rise at a time.
